This is a known bug of C++ parser of gcc.  It currently requires the
`template' keyword to precede member templates with explicit template
arguments in all cases, but it should only require it when the type of
the object that contains the member is template-dependent.

For short, to work around this GCC bug, you must write:

#if GCC_IS_BUGGY
# define NEEDLESS_TEMPLATE_KEYWORD template
#else
# define NEEDLESS_TEMPLATE_KEYWORD
#endif

      b. NEEDLESS_TEMPLATE_KEYWORD foo <A<T, U> > ();
